Quonset’s 229 companies benefit from world-class infrastructure

Quonset’s 229 companies benefit from world-class infrastructure as we consistently make substantial investments in fast-growing sectors that will drive our economy for generations to come.

As New England prepares for a slate of new offshore wind farms in the coming decade, Quonset is prepared to serve as a key Northeast hub of the growing industry. The Port of Davisville supports nearly 1,700 jobs, $98.9 million in household earnings for Rhode Island families and $374.3 million in business output annually.

In coordination with the State of Rhode Island, Quonset is making bold, strategic investments at the Port of Davisville. The $234 million dollar master plan includes building a new multi-purpose pier, as well as expansive docking space to support crew transfer and support vessels for offshore wind construction. With convenient access to Quonset’s railroad, state airport and highway access, Davisville is well-positioned to serve as a major offshore wind hub.

Plans also include the development of the Quonset Multi-Modal Offshore Wind Transport Center (QMTC), a nearly 150,000 s/f facility to house four aircraft hangars and space for eight companies in the offshore wind space. This $35 million investment will provide additional space and infrastructure for the development, operations and maintenance of offshore wind farms.

Quonset and the Port of Davisville are uniquely positioned to offer offshore wind companies the space they need to configure various components of wind turbines, as well as the pier space they’ll need to construct and service the wind farms.
